Contemporary French and Francophone Belgian cinema has produced a wave of worker suicides that outdoes even Jean Gabin's repeated cinematic deaths of the later 1930s. This article discusses its significance in the context of neo-liberalism and develops an analytical toolkit for making sense of it, taking its main theoretical inspirations from Slavoj Zizek's theorisation of violence and Carl Cederstrom and Peter Fleming's analysis of worker suicide, but also drawing on Michel Foucault's account of parrhesia as the scandalous living of another life in this life. The article suggests that most of the films considered use the apparently subjective violence of worker suicide to force the unseen violences of neo-liberal labour into view, while only a few move beyond this denunciatory position to probe both what a parrhesiastic exit from neo-liberal labour, a killing of the worker-in-the-self, might look like and all that prevents it.
